PRODUCTION OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY-MEDIATED EDUCATION TEACHING MATERIAL: A PROPOSAL FOR A DIALOGICITY SYSTEM
Keywords: Technology-Mediated Education. Permanent Health Education. Production of Teaching Material. Dialogicity. Software Requirements Specification.
The training of health professionals generates significant changes in work processes, as well as a consequent impact on the quality of the services provided. The empirical field of the research was the Virtual Learning Environment of the Unified Health System (AVASUS), developed by the Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health (LAIS) with the purpose of combining large-scale and quality training for the professionals of the Unified Health System (SUS). In this context, a significant challenge arises, which is the preparation of professionals for the production of content for technology-mediated education applied to health. The research methodology used had a quali-quantitative approach based on the application of a multiple-choice questionnaire, focus group and, finally, individual interviews performed with content makers with finalized modules, program coordinators and technical servers linked to the module production process. Thus, the survey was based on different views, from the perspective of identifying the operational and pedagogical needs of the participants of the process, obtaining relevant, genuine, and unusual results. The work evidenced that 81% of the public researched never had any experience in the production of didactic material for Distance Education (DE) and that, in many cases, the most considerable difficulty is to write the material using a dialogic language. Thus, it proposes the development of the software requirements specification for the E-Dialogic (Dialogical Didactic Material Production System), a pedagogical solution that allows the content maker to deepen his or her knowledge about the dialogic language, as well as to perform activities that will help in the association, construction, and conversion of dialogic texts. It seeks to provide the necessary information for the development of the E-Dialogic, such as purpose, description, attributes, and requirements for the implementation, testing, and approval of the system. The construction of the requirements specification document focused on developing a software system capable of assisting the content maker in the elaboration of didactic material, reducing the production time and enabling more interactivity and better quality of the didactic material, since the system will guide the user in the didactic-communicational transition process, moving from the perspective of scientific text to interactional-dialogical text. This work is intended to contribute to the elaboration of digital content for instructional and self-instructional courses, expanding the possibilities of producing the material with more dialogicity and learning effectiveness.
